Per GM's typical business practices, it'll go online after the cars start getting delivered to customers. So I'd say 2nd to 3rd week of August. GM sucks.

When I went to the GM website, it said the configurator will be available Aug. 4th. I’ve been looking but can’t find anything yet, so I contacted my dealership for help, I need to know the options and how much they will cost so I can order my Z06.

I had an email exchange with MacMulkin today, they said they are expecting it to be available by the end of this week, so by the 8th I guess, might be sooner.

So why the wait in the first place? Are they hoping to get rid of the remaining 25’s and a couple of 24’s first? 😬

Doesn’t GM know that they will sell the first bunch of the 26’ models as fast as they can build them? There are so many dealerships that have deposits from buyers that are anxious for their cars. Hurry up and put up the configurator so we can finish filling out our orders. It would be nice to know how much I’m spending so I can pick the right options to personalize my car.

GM, are you paying any attention to these forums?

GM doesn’t know for sure because there are so many things to consider, like parts supply, other inventory and logistics and so on. Allocations is another factor, who gets what first.

What ever happened to first come first served? My dealership is a small one and at this point, they’re not even sure when they will get an allocation, maybe September.

I’m sure the big thinkers at GM have their reasons for not keeping us, the people that buy the cars and help pay the bills, keep us informed. I for one would like to have the configuration so I can make the best choice for the options. If there’s one thing they know at GM is that we will still buy their Corvettes no matter what.

Unfortunately it’s the cost of the options and the availability of the options “parts” is what’s holding up the release of the configurator. They still haven’t figured that out yet. The manual only helps you to learn about your car. Does the manual cover the Z06?
